okcapital: lost your job - want to find the city that meets all your needs?
DESCRIPTION
Have you recently lost your job? Why not find 'the place you were destined to live' and find more than just a job, but a city that meets all your personal psychological needs?! This presentation talks about an 'App' that we built in 72 hours called #OkCapital at the #GovHack in Canberra. We are proud to announce that it won 'Best use of Spatial Data' prize. The app essentially acts as a kind of 'dating app' that matches Australian cities to a set of psychological criteria that the individual fills in which is matched to open government data about each city. For more details about the App please see: http://code.google.com/p/okcapital/TRANSCRIPT
OkCapital...the city you were destined to live in...
The problem?!"Oh Shit!
I've just lost my job!"
The problem?!
... nevermind, you weren't meant for that job...
The problem?!"WHAT am I going to do
now?!"
The problem?!... it's not "what" you are meant to do, it is "WHERE
you are destined to live."!
... your destiny awaits at OkCapital...
OkCapital
Ok!

And then we thought, what if...
The problem with a standard 'Quality of Life' profile is that we all have our own personal psychological criteria for what kind of city we would prefer. => So what if we could have 'a dating website' for picking a city that matches our own personal psychology?

Dynamic ranking of cities matched to your psychology
How it was made?1.) Match gov't datasets per major city to Maslow's hierarchy profile.
How it was made?2. Normalised data as linkeddata API (because all Gov data worldwide could be plugged into this App) http://code.google.com/p/okcapital/wiki/MaslowAPI
How it was made?3.) Build Maslow Algorithm to weight 'my' profile to that of the city data profile.
How it was made?4.) Build Javascript Geo interface to show 66k data-points into a single map + pyramid interface. TRY IT: http://bit.ly/okcapital-demo
How it was made?5.) Release it all as OpenSource and encourage more OpenData to make the world a better place. #world-of-dataGoogleCode:OkCapital
OkCapital Value to the Aus Citizen
● Losing your job is one of the most psychologically difficult times in a person's life!
● Worst of all you can't afford a psychologist to help you through it :-(
● OkCapital walks you through the psychological motivators you NEED to consider when moving on in life (the things you forget when in a state of crisis, like job loss).
● OkCapital starts to demonstrate a 'Quality of Life' - beyond life as 'a product of fiscal-capital'.
OkCapital Value to Aus Government● Government MUST invest in the coming
economic job crisis!● Local governments want to encourage people
to move to their city!● This App demonstrates the value of having
Australian cities sharing their data in standard formats with standard tools...
● OkCapital demonstrates the new value that can be generated from OPEN DATA! <-- we are just a two day, hack.. imagine what we could do if a small start-up with this data worldwide!
Take home message
Senior Managers, Politicians and People who care, check out our recommendations! We could do so much more if you would just commit to sharing your data using common data formats and data tools!
